“I am ecstatic to tell you all today that we have beheld the awesome visage of the supreme architect of the cosmos, and we have murdered Him,” jubilant administrator Charles Bolden said after being drenched with champagne by other celebrating NASA employees. “There have been innumerable setbacks, missteps, and hardships over the past 50 years, but we always stayed true to our ultimate goal and we never gave up.”

“We finally got the son of a bitch!” Bolden continued. “He’s dead! God is dead!”

Not long ago Pew Research Center did a survey about political candidates for the 2012 republican primary. One segment of the survey asked people what qualities they were and were not likely to support. People said they were most likely to support someone who had served in the military, followed closely by someone who had served as governor. Reasonable enough. At the other end of the list, meaning qualities people were least likely to support, was ATHEIST! Meaning it would probably be easier to get elected to the republic primary if you had been divorced, Mormon, gay, or had an extramarital affair… WTF?

“Among traits perceived negatively, 61% say they would be less likely to support a presidential candidate who does not believe in God, which is little changed from four years ago. A past extramarital affair is viewed even more negatively today than in 2007: Currently, 46% say they would be less likely to support a candidate who had an extramarital affair, up from 39% in February 2007.”
